8. Myth and Worldview

from AfterThought Hosted by CDK

If key to the modern Western worldview was the discovery of deep space, deep time, deep process, and deep consciousness, and a corresponding conception of no limits, what follows after that worldview’s demise in 1945 with WWII undoing European power? Does a new worldview and mythology emerge? (No, not exactly, but the old one unravels, and is unravelling...) Acknowledging that myth can mean everything from an impossible story proved false to a profound articulation of our existential belonging, our discussion ranges across a diversity of understandings of myth within our globalizing moment.

Headlong: Surviving Y2K Topic / Pineapple Street Media / Dan Taberski December 31, 1999: The world braced for disaster as midnight approached. Then, nothing happened. The hysteria over the Y2K computer bug quickly became an afterthought; a punch-line. In Surviving Y2K, Dan Taberski takes you back to the turn of the millennium to meet the people for whom it was anything but a joke — computer coders, conspiracy theorists, survivalists, and true believers — as they each face their own version of the apocalypse. And Dan tells a new millennium story of his own, about a decision that could destroy his life. Headlong is Dan Taberski’s documentary podcast that explores the lives of overlooked people, moments and events in our culture. Season 1 is Missing Richard Simmons. Season 3 is Running From COPS. Perfect Body! A Torah Portion Afterthought Shirah Chante Perfect Body podcast is an afterthought on the weekly Torah portions. The Torah is the first five books of the Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. Take time this year to read the Torah and be refreshed in your body, mind, and spirit. I tell the story of a portion of the portion breaking it down into bite size pieces that you can swallow so that you can eat and be full but not too full. Save room for your personal self-discovery as you engage in Torah study. Subscribe to this show to receive a new show every week. Visit http://www.shirahchante.com/podcast for more inspiration. Construction Matters Construction Matters Construction Matters: Building Wellbeing, One Story at a Time Welcome to Construction Matters, a podcast that refuses to treat mental health as a polite afterthought. In an industry that lionizes toughness and stoicism, we ask the questions others sidestep: What does it cost to keep silent? And why should resilience mean suffering in solitude? Here, no subject is quarantined for fear of discomfort. Each episode brings you unvarnished accounts from the men and women who raise our skylines and pave our roads—the real architects of Australia’s future. These are stories not of abstract “wellbeing initiatives,” but of lived experience: the triumphs, the breakdowns, and the stubborn dignity of those who endure both. Our host is no parachuted pundit. He began with a shovel in hand and climbed to senior management without losing sight of the mud from which he rose. His perspective is earned, not borrowed. Th
